Mark from Ireland Invites

I've been unhappy with some aspects of blogger's service not least the inability to have permanent pages, categories, and the constant outages. a further source of discontent is that some of my readers amongst them Mrs. K8 has reported that the site takes forever to load in their browsers.

I've been experimenting with a wordpress service and am happy with the result. I'm going to continue to post here for a while and thereafter migrate permanently.

I invite you to try the new site and have posted two articles for you today:Russia confirms missile defence contract with Iran
